Sound-based quantum computers could be built using chip-sized device
From New Scientist: A crucial building block for quantum computers based on sound has been shown to work for the first time. Andrew Cleland at the University of Chicago have built a chip-sized device that can manipulate particles of sound in a way that mimics how particles of light are used in light-based quantum computers, opening the door for building sound-based quantum computers.
